“Capture, edit and share any type of video”
by Elena Santos
Camtasia Studio is one of the most popular and highly-regarded tools when it comes to professional screen recording and editing.
With Camtasia Studio you can create screencasts and video tutorials in a friendly working environment, including sound, transitions, video effects and a customized intro menu. Plus the latest versions of the recording suite take advantage of the new high-definition video formats to produce high-quality material for the web.
Producing a video with Camtasia Studio is easier than it looks. Firstly, because the program is thoroughly documented, so you'll always find help if you get stuck; and secondly, because the whole process is divided into three main stages to make things easier for you: recording, editing and producing.
In the first stage Camtasia Studio provides you with a dedicated built-in tool to record images from your screen. The Camtasia Recorder features many different options to customize your recording settings: use the whole screen or a user-defined area, add cursor effects, record audio as well, and more.
When the recording is finished, Camtasia Studio plays the resulting file straight away. If you're happy with it, it's time to move on to the next stage, editing. Camtasia Studio offers again a varied range of tools to personalize your video: you'll be able to draw attention to a certain area with zoom, add more information with on-screen text captions or make it more eye-catching with transition effects, to name a few. The only area in which Camtasia may not be that complete is sound: the audio editor only includes a couple of tools to normalize volume and remove background noise, respectively.
Finally, the production stage. Camtasia Studio makes it really easy, even if you've never used video editors before. The trick is using one of the production presets the program includes, such as blog, CD, iPhone, Youtube and of course, HD. Camtasia Studio will guide you through the selection of codecs, sizes and other details, and will finally render your video. Done!
Whether you're out to make screencasts or need a friendly and complete tool to record videos, Camtasia Studio is the application of choice.
